i am interested in results for america. if we're going to people empty- handed, having to close offices, and cut back programs so we do not have the relationship that enables us to turn around and say, remember us? we did that with the egyptian military. we trained you. here is what we think you can do. we will be weakened. that is the bottom line. it is not a pleasant thing to say. at this moment in history as much as any, it is not like there is no competition out there. iran and china are competing with us. we have people more than happy to step forward and fill the void that we leave behind. i was struck that the conservative government in the united kingdom actually increased their development budget. they were cutting everything else. they said that if we do not compete and are not present, we're really going to be off the map. they are actually increasing their development budget. on these issues like south sudan, darfur, somalia -- the united states is the major player. i think we deserve a great deal of the credit

that was demonstrated for all of america to see. we are also in the process of making sure that washington begins to do what every american family and small businessperson is having to do right now. it's called tightening the belt. it's called trying to learn how to do more with less. . and inherently what that means is we got to start prioritizing the things that are important to the american people. the problem is we've seen n.p.r. anits programming often veer far from what most americans would like to see as far as the expenditure of their taxpayer dollars. that's the bottom line. nobody's on a rampage. nobody is trying to say that we don't like n.p.r. for n.p.r.'s sake. we've seen how they spend their money. it's time to prioritize. it's time to reflect the common sense of the american people, and that's why the bill takes the form that it does. it says that we've got to go, number one, listen to the executives at n.p.r. that says they don't need taxpayer funding. well, listen, we are all about looking for ways to cut right now
